11 Injured, one critically, on Disneyland's "Thunder Mountain" roller coaster.

Hmm. Of course, I just found out, searching to see if there had been previous accidents in the Magic Kingdom, that there have -- and yet I've never heard of them. Interesting control of PR they've got.

It does explain why Space Mountain is shut down for refurbishment; a couple in Utah just sued Disneyland over an injury when one of the cars on that ride derailed.
Edit: "just" was two years ago, July of 2001.

Eh. Doesn't matter. I'll still go and have fun; the ratio of accidents is small compared to the people who ride them every day.

Though a derailment on the Matterhorn could seriously ruin your day trip life.

I've been to Disneyland 4 times in my life. And each time I've gone the Matterhorn has been broke that day. I have yet to ride that one. But perhaps I should also take it as a sign that I shouldn't ride it, if I had the chance, too.
